South Korea Forges Ahead with Nuclear Power

In December 2009, a South Korea consortium won a large contract for four 1,400-megawatt nuclear reactors in the United Arab Emirates, over a rivaling consortium led by France's Areva Group. The contract, worth $20 billion in direct construction and initial operation, with perhaps another $20 billion in follow-up and associated work, is Korea's first export contract, and represents a new breakthrough in a nuclear power success story of almost 40 years.

In 1971, when construction began on Korea's first nuclear power plant in Gori, South Gyeongsang Province, the country's own builders were not yet trained in such pioneer technology projects. In fact, while the U.S. Westinghouse was building and testing Korea's first and second nuclear plants, and Korean technicians were not even allowed access to key areas, and had to virtually learn from looking over the shoulders of American engineers.

"Now it [Korea] has mastered almost the entire technology and exports it.... Behind the feat are the efforts and sacrifices of many scientists, researchers and technicians.... A lot of blood, sweat and sheer determination went into Korea mastering the technology," Korea's Chosun Ilbo reported on Dec. 29 in a review of this process, with justifiable pride. The government, according to Knowledge Economy Minister Choi Kyung-hwan, who was at the signing ceremony in the UAE, will develop a master plan for making nuclear power generation one of the country's leading export industries, along with autos, ships, and information technology.

In line with that goal, the Korea Electric Power Corp.(KEPCO) has announced plans to open the world's first graduate school dedicated exclusively to nuclear power plant studies in 2012. Participating companies, including four affiliates of KEPCO, will provide financing and training of the teaching staff for the International Nuclear Graduate School. "We will nurture specialists in atomic power generation, who can best leverage our competitive edges to build the world's best nuclear power plants," said Yun Jung-hyun, team leader of the school's task force.

A total of 100 nuclear energy specialists, including 50 non-Koreans, will be admitted to a two-year course in English each year. "Rising talents from potential export countries such as Turkey, Jordan, Vietnam and Indonesia will produce valuable networks we need in the future," Yun said. The United Arab Emirates will dispatch 10 workers to participate in the program when the school opens.
